I've seen many beautiful places in my time. Yet my home town has a certain singularity, charm and vibe which ensures that Edinburgh remains my favourite city.
The seven hills, the extinct volcanoes, the Castle, the coastline, the old town, the history, the nightlife and the architecture unite to make this a unique and enchanting must-see tourist destination.
Edinburgh tourist infomation is readily available. Yet you'll find most of it is standardised stuff, the same old same old without the insider tips which can really set your time here alight! That's where edinburgh-insider.com comes in...
Our capital has a colourful history. Edinburgh was a city of authors, inventors, royalty, brutal murderers and ghosts.
You will hear stories that will transport you to times long since passed and tales from the crypt that will make your blood run cold.
Scared? Avoid the tight, haunted alleyways (closes) of the Royal Mile and take a tour of Holyrood Palace Excited? Go on a ghost tour at night and remember to take your teddy bear!
